Facility Inspections
In addition to performing well in its overall grade, this nursing home performed at an even higher level in the area of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our highest grades in that category with a score of A+. Arguably the most significant factor we consider in calculating our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with better scores in this category typically avoided the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Among this nursing home's other accomplishments is its first-rate long-term care grade. It received one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of A. Nursing homes that receive this type of score in this category tend to provide consistent around the clock care to make sure residents are well cared for. Even though we determined this nursing home had an above average quantity of nursing hours provided by nurses and other nursing staff, we found its vaccine statistics to be a bit slightly lower than we anticipated. It administered the pneumonia vaccine to just 87.128716 percent of its patients. This is a statistic we'd really like to see this facility improve. This nursing home also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had only 1.55 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days.
Nurse Quality
Next, we looked at the nursing category where we awarded this nursing home a grade of C. This facility didn't perform quite as well in this category as it did in some other categories. Nevertheless, this is still a respectable score. There are several criteria within this grade. Most of the subcategories are tied to nurse staffing. With 4.1 hours of nursing care per resident per day, this nursing home surpassed the vast majority of facilities. Finally, our nursing ratings also weigh quality-based metrics, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home performed better than average in this metric.
Short-term Care Quality
The final category we rated is short-term care, ended up being this facility's least impressive category. We awarded this nursing home a grade of D in that area. This really is one of the few dings of an otherwise strong report card. Our short-term care ratings are important for prospective residents seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually requires higher levels of skilled nursing services. This includes a wide scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. It looks like this facility was subpar in multiple staffing metrics we assessed. It supplied fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most nursing homes. The final item we assessed in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 20.7 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these poor statistics doomed this facility's short-term care score.
